What I’ve Been Reading: December Top Picks

Happy (almost) New Year! If one of your New Year’s Resolutions is to read more, I may be able to help. On the last Sunday of every month, I share recommendations to 4 thought-provoking things I read – or in some cases – listened to.

2. In the age of social media notifications and instant gratification, the ability to focus and do deep work is becoming an increasingly rare skill. This post from Taylor Pearson, outlines three of the biggest focus failures.

4. Over the last month, I’ve started to seek out and read more about blockchain technology. Admittedly, I dismissed it for awhile thinking it was only about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I quickly realize that’s only a tiny fraction of what it can do. This article is probably the best intro to blockchain guide I’ve come across.

What are you reading right now? Send me an email here. The only thing I love more than reading is getting thoughtful recommendations for what I should read next.
